STEP 19 – INNER STABILIZER INSTALLATION:
When the liner is completely adjusted and the plastic coping is secured, the next step is to install the top
wall rims. You should have four different size top wall rims (except for 12' X 17' pools which only have three)
Reference the chart in Step 10. You should have some 8" rails, some 33" rails, some 37" rails, and an even number
of longer rails which have one tapered side and one straight cut side. Separate stabilizers into different sizes now.
A) Starting at the first upright on one of the curved sides, push one of the longest top wall rims over the coping
so it fits snugly. Be sure to leave the straight cut end of stabilizer slightly raised so that the next stabilizer can
interlock as shown below. As they are progressively installed around the curved side of the pool, note that the
tapered end of the stabilizer easily telescopes into straight cut end of the previous stabilizer. The tapered end
should be inserted approximately 1" into the adjacent stabilizer. This allows for adjustment either in or out.
Continue this until you get to the last curved side upright and then do the same with the remaining long
stabilizers on the other curved side.
B) Once the curved sides have been completed find the four 37" stabilizer bars. Push these stabilizers over the
coping in the "corners" in the same way with the exception that they do not interlock into any other rails.
Remember, the "corners" are the space between the last straight side upright and the first curved side upright.
There may be a small space between the stabilizers.
C) The 33" stabilizer bars arealso independant. These rails are used in the spaces between the straight side uprights.
D) Finally, the 8" stabilizer bars are installed directly in front of each straight side upright. Because of the
manner in which the wall bends around the straight side upright these stabilizer bars are installed so that the
ends of each bar are bending out away from the center of the pool.

*Roll liner up and inward to hide excess underneath top rail.
(Rolling inward will prevent water from collecting in flap.) Do
not trim excess - this may cause liner to pull in!
